(19:00 UTC / 21:00 Finland time)

:diamond: WHERE: Our Twitch Channel
:diamond: WHAT: For many years, LemOn and Kyyberi have battled in the Clash of the Coaches.
Kyyberi has won it countless times – to LemOn’s one.

But 2025 will be different. This time, LemOn is striking back as they face off in a Best-of-7 Sit & Go series on KK Poker, mixing Pot Limit Omaha with No-Limit Hold’em.

While the cards are in the air, they’ll recap the year 2025 in poker – from the poker world warming up to Martin Kabrhel to Michael Mizrachi winning the World Series of Poker Main Event– and look ahead to what 2026 might bring.

Come join us to:

  • Watch Kyyberi vs LemOn36 battle it out in a best-of-seven showdown on KK Poker.
  • Relive the biggest poker moments of the year – from the rise of Martin Kabrhel to key debates, hands, and storylines across live and online poker.
  • Celebrate PokerStrategy success stories, including players who started with the Beginner’s Guide and turned it into real results.
  • Share your own highlights from 2025 – and your goals for 2026 – live in chat.

As always, expect strong opinions, questionable plays, plenty of laughs, and an active chat.
Don’t miss the annual PokerStrategy Year Recap – see you live on Tuesday!

Fun stream guys :f_thumbsup:

Glad Lem0n got to crush Kyyberi with his excellent strategy: bluff induce all the way! Congrats!
(or maybe the runner quads / 1-outer straight flush / flopping nuts and hitting gutshots, did help a bit as well...)

Also, nice that you talked about the different poker news/ scandels of 2025 :f_cool:

Happy new year to the both of you, keep crushing! _drink:

Lemon was a bit better also, I believe! What he does, the "mid-stakes poker comedian" is also difficult to copy! But Kyyberi I haven't beaten either his results and he teaches a 4-card game that I will soon play again on Party/iPoker or both!

This year we can come back to this and see if that slowroll gave Lem0n bad karma as it's supposed to do.

Sure Kyyberi, if Lemon would pick someone to play hu4rollz it would definitely be an experienced Pokerstrategy coach. He is that bad at table selecting.

Lemon appears to have been a more capable one too! It has not been easy for me to grasp how his method of playing "the mid-stakes poker comedian" works! Nevertheless, there was this one player who managed to beat me despite me giving it all that I had, and this is the player who plays "4-card games. :heart:

Hi Lotterysambad1,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

Be sure to check out the free money offers and bonus offers.
Read the instructions carefully -- they usually apply to rooms where you don't already have an account.

What kind of games do you normally play?
Cash Games? Sit-and-Go? MTTs?
Do you just play Hold'em or do you play any other variants?

If you're totally new to poker, I recommend reading our No Limit Hold'em lessons overview articles first.
That article leads you through the basics and beyond.
It is even recommended if you've played a while _biggrin:

If you have any questions, just post them in the Q&A forum.

Oh yeah don't forget to check out the bankroll challenge.

All the best,
VS
